As reported by Combate, Dominick Cruz is now being targeted for a match up against John Lineker at UFC 233. The event will take place Jan. 26 in Anaheim, Calif. UFC 233 will be featured live on pay-per-view.

The bout has yet to be made official, but is reportedly in the works. Cruz lost his bantamweight title to Cody Garbrandt back at UFC 207. Since then, the former champion has been recovering from injuries.
